Randy Harter Corner of Osage and West Main. Like all company generated birds-eye views of that era, the plant would have been likely 1/4 that size.

John Claus Peters not only help invent the washing machine (Horton Washing Machine), he owned several other enterprises including Peters Box and Lumber, Wayne Hotel, and this Indiana Road Machine. [FortWayne]
